Product Description
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for organic-base asphalt strip shingles excluding laminated shingles across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as "regions"). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of "economic population", as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this "economic" definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city's marketing and distribution value vis-a-vis others. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Product Description
This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market.

In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.

In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "wood ties, siding, shingles, and shakes and contract sawing of logs owned by others" for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. ... Read more

Product Description
This econometric study covers the world outlook for organic and inorganic-base asphalt and tar individual shingles across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for organic and inorganic-base asphalt and tar individual shingles. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business. ... Read more

Product Description
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for organic and inorganic-base laminated and multi-layered asphalt strip shingles across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for organic and inorganic-base laminated and multi-layered asphalt strip shingles. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for organic and inorganic-base laminated and multi-layered asphalt strip shingles in Japan. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of Japan. For each prefecture, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business. ... Read more

Good information to understand but needs more
Only gave this 4 stars because it is a great information source but it lacked effective treatment protocol [...]. Overall if you have shingles or phn I would recommend this book but I also recommend doing research on natural treatments for shingles and phn.

This book is really helpful
Great book. My Father has been suffered from this PHN for more than 4 years. This book let me learn lots about it. I'd like to contact to the auther or any other person who has same experience. Please contact me viae-mail.

The only help I could find for help was this book.
I have read this book and would like to know how to get in touch with the author. I have come across some exciting news about this PHN. My husband has had it for 3 years. Is there anyway to get in touch with Mr. Thomsen ?His book really help me to understand what my husband is going through.h.bundy ... Read more

Product Description
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for organic-base asphalt strip shingles excluding laminated shingles across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 5,000 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for organic-base asphalt strip shingles excluding laminated shingles. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales.

More Research Needed
While the author has done quite a bit of research in proving Shingle Street a "myth," he still admits here and there that much is still kept under wraps. There is other firsthand information located on the internet site: "The Secret War at Shingle Street", run by Ronald Ashford, in the U.K., that leads me to believe that there is more here than meets the eye, and that James Hayward is not giving us the entire story, especially when it comes to eye witness accounts.

Having seen the written statements and listened to witnesses testify to their experiences during the War, I tend to think this was not "myth" or black propaganda. Hayward makes too many generalized statements about some of these eyewitnesses; for instance, Dr. Charles Bove, head surgeon at the American Hospital in Paris is dismissed with an "unlikely story."And then the Home Guardsmen who are seen as POWs in Germany, who report they were abducted by German raiders off the Kent coast, are dismissed by the author with "but can these reports really have any foundation in fact?"Well...if the author would do a little more research, he might make the statement with some "facts" to back up his assumption.

Ifthe MoD wouldt come clean with the entire file, perhaps we could get to the whole truth; there are enough eye witnesses, with written statements available...and I've seen the written documents signed by them (and not third party hearsay), to prove that there WERE bodies hastily taken up and off from the scene. Was this incident used by the British as propaganda, i.e., that the Germans failed to land, to bolster morale? Maybe. But don't tell me the MoD doesn't lie; consider the false statements they made to relatives of downed RAF flyers, during the War, and of whom, knowing where their bodies were, but refused to tell the truth or recover them...until now...as they are now forced to tell the truth, as the flyers are discovered by amateur aviation archeologists; and as each flyer is discovered, the MoD is further discredited. See: Missing in Action: Resting in Peace?

More research needs to be done, and there are still too many secrets still kept under wraps by the Ministry of Defense to make a blanket statement on a book cover referring to Shingle Street as historical myth.Hayward's book is 9 years old; new information to the contrary has surfaced and the entire story needs a fresh look.

Product Description
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the market in North America & the Caribbean face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying wooden shingles and shakes to North America & the Caribbean? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of wooden shingles and shakes vary from one country to another in North America & the Caribbean? Do exporters serving the market in North America & the Caribbean have similar market shares across the importing countries? On the supply side, North America & the Caribbean also sells to the international market of wooden shingles and shakes. Which countries in North America & the Caribbean supply the most exports of wooden shingles and shakes? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for wooden shingles and shakes in North America & the Caribbean. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for wooden shingles and shakes for those countries serving North America & the Caribbean via exports or supplying from North America & the Caribbean via imports. We do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where North America & the Caribbean fits into the world market for imported and exported wooden shingles and shakes. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for North America & the Caribbean in particular, is ... Read more
